Who is Luigi Riva?
Luigi Riva, best known as Gigi Riva or by his nickname Rombo di Tuono, is a former Italian footballer, the all-time leading scorer for the Italian national team.
Considered one of the best forwards of his generation, Riva enjoyed a remarkable scoring record for Cagliari thanks to his composure in front of goal, fearsome left foot and aerial ability. He led Cagliari to their only Serie A title in 1969-70, as well as winning the 1968 UEFA European Championship with Italy.
